The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Di Qinglin sniffed the air and turned to look at Jia Daoshi's position.

The room was empty; Jia Daoshi had already gotten up!

Jia Daoshi slept well last night and has already regained his energy!

This was his first morning after he traveled through time.

No toothbrush, no toothpaste, no face wash, no razor... This made him very uncomfortable.

The backpack that came with him contained bandages, bandages, disinfectant wipes, antibacterial ointment, sunscreen... but he didn't bring any toiletries!

Who knew that a trip into the mountains would lead to a time travel?

At this moment, Jia Daoshi was cooking breakfast while thinking that he must get some daily necessities later, otherwise it would be too miserable to survive under such conditions!

As for breakfast today, his uncle gave him some rice, flour, and a few cornbread buns yesterday, which should last him for two days.

"My lord...you...you can actually cook porridge?"

Just as Jia Daoshi was adding firewood to the kang (a heated brick bed) and making future plans, Di Qinglin's somewhat suspicious voice rang out from the kitchen doorway.

You should know that Jia Daoshi in the past didn't know any of these things!

They rarely even come into the kitchen!

Seeing Di Qinglin's surprised expression, Jia Daoshi smiled but didn't offer any explanation.

He didn't know how to explain it.

If he had all the ingredients, he could make not only porridge, but even Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

"The porridge is ready. You and Ajiu should rest at home today. I'm going to visit my uncle." Jia Daoshi got up, drank a bowl of porridge, and grabbed a cornbread bun in his hand.

"Young master, what exactly did you ask your uncle to do?" Di Qinglin asked with curiosity.

"Your husband has made a real treasure!" Jia Daoshi chuckled.

When Jia Daoshi got up this morning, he took out the book "Da Jing Zhi" from the bookcase and read it. It not only contains the history of the Da Jing Dynasty, but also local customs and the county annals of Yilan County. After reading it, he gained a deeper understanding of this dynasty.

The Great Jing Dynasty has been established for nearly three hundred years!

For 250 out of the last 300 years, there was constant warfare!

To the north were the barbarian Tartars, to the west was the hostile Longwu Dynasty, and to the east, along the coast, Japanese pirates frequently harassed the area.

In order to protect its own stability, the Great Jing Dynasty had no choice but to arm its own army!

The various armies of the Jing Dynasty totaled over a million men!

To maintain such a large army, the annual military pay alone is an astronomical figure!

The taxes levied on ordinary people are getting heavier year by year!

Most importantly, the number of young and middle-aged men in the Great Jing Dynasty is decreasing year by year!

This makes the tax burden on each household even greater!

Many people were conscripted by officials and sent to the north to serve in the army because they could not pay their taxes.

But not everyone is willing to do that!

Some ruthless people would mutiny right there on the road, some would run away, and some would become bandits.

This has led to a very unstable society.

The situation during the Jing Dynasty was similar to that during the Song Dynasty.

Not far from Jiajia Village, on Black Tiger Mountain, there is a bandit stronghold called Black Tiger Stronghold!

Black Tiger Stronghold has been around for over a decade. Black Tiger Mountain is strategically located, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The government troops attacked it several times without success, and eventually they simply gave up!

There are about a hundred people in Black Tiger Stronghold, who usually make a living by robbing merchant caravans.

If there's absolutely no food left, they'll even go down the mountain to the villages to steal food!

The bandits of Black Tiger Stronghold kill people every time they come down the mountain.

As time went on, no one dared to provoke them anymore.

In Yilan County, many people have suffered losses, but the government troops are powerless against Black Tiger Village. What can ordinary people do?

After learning more about it, Jia Daoshi felt an even stronger sense of crisis!

He knew that in such chaotic times, only by becoming strong himself could one truly prevail!

Therefore, he was very much looking forward to seeing if his uncle could build what he wanted according to the blueprints he had given him!

Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.

If you can make this thing, you'll be able to protect yourself whether you're hunting in the mountains or encountering bandits!

Moreover, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow he made was truly capable of firing in rapid succession!

Thinking of Zhou Laosi, whom I had chased away, and that Manager Wang, they were clearly not good people.

In this world, Jia Daoshi took the deposit from Manager Wang, only to be beaten up and driven away by him. That guy lost both his money and his reputation. Judging from their attitude, they certainly wouldn't let it go easily.

He didn't know the extent of the other party's power, so all he could do now was to improve himself as much as possible.

Fortunately, in his previous life, he was also a top soldier in the special forces, and he was a sniper god with perfect accuracy when it came to firearms.

His mastery of the Eight Blades of Breaking Edge, a weapon of cold weapons, is already unparalleled!

He had Jia Quan forge the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, which could fire twelve arrows in succession!

This repeating crossbow would surely be unparalleled in an era where only bows and arrows existed!

……

Walking through the snow along the village path, Jia Daoshi could see from afar that his uncle's house was filled with the burly Jia Hu carrying two 100-pound stone locks, tossing them up and down in the yard.

Judging from their posture, it looks like they're doing morning exercises!

In the dead of winter, this guy was already drenched in sweat and steaming from head to toe!

This power is absolutely insane!

Even if Xiang Yu were reborn or Lü Bu were reincarnated, it would probably still end up like this, right?

Those two stone locks were like inflatable toys in his hands!

"Two hundred and eighty-eight, two hundred and eighty-nine, two hundred and ninety... two hundred and eighty-eight..."

Jia Quan swung the stone lock while counting.

But this guy's brain doesn't work very well; he kept counting and stopped at 290.

At this moment, Jia Quan clearly had no energy to pay attention to Jia Hu. He was engrossed in studying something at the stone table next to him.

"Jia Daoshi, Jia Daoshi, what are these things you've made? Are they some kind of bizarre and ingenious gadgets used by those spoiled young masters in the city? If I find out, I'll break your legs!"

Jia Quan fiddled with it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up and sat down to smoke his pipe.

"Uncle, this is a treasure! How can those trash compare?"

Just then, Jia Daoshi's voice rang out.

"Hey! Jia Daoshi! You've finally arrived! When are you going to take me to the county town?" As soon as Jia Hu saw Jia Daoshi, he rushed over excitedly.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two 100-pound stone locks were thrown to the ground, causing the entire courtyard to tremble!

"Listen to me, Ah Hu! We're not in a rush to go to town! Later, your brother will take you to the mountains to catch wild rabbits and hunt some game! That'll be much more fun than going to town!"

"Alright! Let's hunt rabbits! Let's eat wild game! Let's hunt rabbits! Let's eat wild game!"

Jia Hu was so happy he danced with joy!

"Alright, the wild rabbits on this mountain have all become spirits lately, I haven't encountered a single one! Tell me first, what are these things you've made?" Jia Quan said, taking a puff of his cigarette.
